I’ve finally awoken from my immortal sleep and am now slipping this Monday post into its slot very late in the day. Every now and then a recharge is necessary. So let’s not jump right in. As I began to mellow from all the craziness that had befallen my life since our return home this…

I think it’s high time we return to our Greek god series here on Immortal Monday. Wouldn’t you agree? When you think of the god Apollo, do visions of the sun god come to mind? Did you know Apollo wasn’t always known for the sun, but for prophecy, music and healing? That’s right, healing. A…
